NeighborhoodGraph

NeighborhoodGraph[g,v]

gives the graph neighborhood of a vertex v in the graph g.

NeighborhoodGraph[g,{a1,a2,…}]

gives the graph neighborhood of the ai that can be vertices, edges, or subgraphs of g.

NeighborhoodGraph[g,patt]

gives the graph neighborhood of the vertices and edges that match the pattern patt.

NeighborhoodGraph[g,…,d]

gives the neighborhood up to distance d.

NeighborhoodGraph[{vw,…},…]

uses rules vw to specify the graph g.

Details and Options

  • The neighborhood graph for a vertex v is given by vertices adjacent to v and the edges connecting them.
  • The neighborhood graph for an edge e is the neighborhood graph for the vertices of e.
  • The neighborhood graph for a subgraph h is the neighborhood graph for the vertices in h.
  • The neighborhood graph at distance d is the neighborhood graph for the vertices of the neighborhood graph at distance d-1.
  • The default value for d is 1.
  • NeighborhoodGraph works with undirected graphs, directed graphs, multigraphs, and mixed graphs.
